My parents' have decided to sell the family home out Ipswich way and move up closer to Damian and I. They are looking townhouses/units on Bribie Island.. which has proved difficult!
They had their house put onto the market Monday last week. They had a contract on it on Thursday. Settlement due on the 19th August... moving quick??? I don't think mum was entirely prepared to have everything go so quickly, and neither was I - as I've offered to be their hotel until they find and move into a place they like... could be 2 weeks, could be a month... could be longer!!!!
I'm doing mum's legals for her to save a bit of money and I'm starting to get a little annoyed with the repeated questions! Oh well.. that's what you get when you do things for family!
I have to admit I had a little brain wave this morning when tidying the kitchen... I hate people being in the house... coming for dinner, afternoon tea, morning tea... a day or two I can deal with... Having another 4 beings living in our small house is going to be interesting... manouvering 4 cars (5 including Anita's) is going to be interesting... cooking for 6 instead of 2 is going to be interesting... people cleaning and putting things away where I want them to be is simply not going to happen.... ahhhh.. I'm just going to have to stress less and hope they find somewhere sooner rather than later...
Oh - must remember that I will have little bodies running about the house all the time too... and with Mum not working and the boys who are home schooled.. it's going to be very very busy here...
I'm going to need a holiday at the end of it all!!!!
Wish me luck.. they move in on the 8th August!!!!
